The Indian athlete begins a packed opening day with five events, but there will be added focus on his fitness after he suffered an injury during the high jump in the ongoing event. Tejaswin was not able to go beyond his first jump and pulled out of the competition citing a patella tendon injury in his knee. The setback has raised questions over how well he can cope across the gruelling 10-event contest in Glasgow. India will also have medal hopes in weightlifting through Martina Devi Maibam and Lovepreet Singh, while Tajinderpal Singh Toor, Samardeep Singh Gill, Parul Chaudhary, Seema Kaliramna, and Nidhi Rani will feature in athletics finals later in the day.
